Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) announced its AOTL66935 utilizes AOS’ 100V AlphaSGT™ proprietary MOSFET technology which combines the advantages of trench technology for low on-resistance with high safe operating area (SOA) capability that meets 48V hot swap requirements in AI server and telecom applications.
The AOTL66935 hot swap MOSFET prevents damage to the system by limiting the high inrush current with low power losses due to the very low on-resistance (RDS(ON)). These features help deliver increased performance and reliability in harsh application conditions required in latest AI server designs. The AOTL66935 is available in TO-Leadless (TOLL) package, which is 30% smaller footprint compared to TO-263 (D2PAK). AOTL66935 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. TOLL package technology is compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) manufacturing requirements.
“48V hot swap in AI servers requires a MOSFET that excels in high current capability while providing exceptional SOA robustness with high reliability. We designed the AOTL66935 to meet these demands, and the low on-resistance reduces the power losses and can enable less devices in parallel,” said Peter H. Wilson, Sr. Director of MOSFET product line at AOS.

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) introduced the company’s next generation (Gen3) 1200V αSiC MOSFETs designed to maximize efficiency in a growing market of high power applications. These Gen3 MOSFETs provide up to 30 percent improved switching figure-of-merit (FOM) compared to AOS’ previous generation while maintaining low conduction losses at high load conditions. The performance improvements do not compromise ruggedness and reliability, as the Gen3 MOSFETs have full AEC-Q101 qualification, with extended lifetime and HV-H3TRB capabilities.
As power demands surge in electric vehicles (EVs), AI data centers, and renewable energy systems, inefficiencies in power conversion stages can significantly strain electrical supply and cooling systems. For EV designs, AOS’ Gen3 αSiC MOSFETs enable engineers to create higher power density systems with greater efficiency, reducing battery consumption and extending vehicle range. Future AI data centers adopting high-voltage DC (HVDC) architectures, such as 800V or ±400V, will benefit from reduced losses and increased power density to meet growing power requirements. To support these higher system voltages, AOS’ Gen3 1200V devices will be critical for enabling new topologies with the necessary efficiency.
The new AOS Gen3 1200V MOSFETs are available with an on-resistance (Rds(on)) range from 15mOhm (AOM015V120X3Q) to 40mOhm (AOM040V120X3Q) in a TO27-4L package. AOS plans to roll out its Gen3 MOSFETs in additional surface mount and topside cooled packages as well as in case modules. AOS has also qualified a larger Gen3 1200V/11mOhm MOSFET die designed for high-power EV traction inverter modules and is available for wafer sales.
“Electric vehicles and AI are transforming industries, but they require advanced power systems that can maintain efficiency even as energy demands increase,” said David Sheridan, Vice President of Wide Bandgap products at AOS. “We’re excited that this next generation of AOS αSiC MOSFETs can deliver the performance our customers require while making a positive environmental impact.”

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) announced the release of two state-of-the-art surface mounting package options for its industry-leading high power MOSFET portfolio. Designed to meet the robust packaging requirements for the most demanding applications that require increased performance and reliability, the new GTPAK™ and GLPAK™ packages will first be available on AOS’ AOGT66909 and AOGL66901 MOSFETs respectively. Combining AOS-proven robust MOSFET technology with advanced packaging know-how, these devices provide low ohmic and high current capabilities, critical to reducing the number of parallel MOSFETs needed in high current designs such as in next-generation e-mobility and industrial applications.
The GTPAK offered with the AOGT66909 is a topside cooling package designed with a large exposed pad for more efficient heat transfer. The topside cooling technology transfers most heat to the heat sink mounted on the top exposed pad. This feature allows the GTPAK to offer a more effective thermal dissipation route than going through the PCB board, allowing a lower-cost PCB, such as FR4, to be used.
The GLPAK offered with the AOGL66901 is a gull-wing version of AOS’ successful TOLL package. It is designed using AOS’ advanced clip technology to achieve a high inrush current rating. The GLPAK with clip technology offers very low package resistance and parasitic inductance, improving EMI performance compared to other package types that employ standard wire bonding.
The GTPAK and GLPAK packages feature gull-wing leads, enabling excellent solder joint reliability even for insulated metal substrates (IMS) applications. This gull-wing construction also provides enhanced thermal cycling for IMS boards and other critical applications that must meet higher reliability objectives. AOS MOSFETs in the new GTPAK and GLPAK packages are manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities and are compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) manufacturing requirements.
“We are committed to delivering new solutions to help our customers meet or exceed their power performance requirements. By offering our industry-leading MOSFETs in the new robust GTPAK and GLPAK packages, AOS allows designers to select from two state-of-the-art packaging technologies that offer significant performance improvements. Furthermore, the advanced technologies in our AOGT66909 and AOGL66901 MOSFETs will help simplify new designs by reducing the number of devices needed while also providing the necessary higher current capability that makes overall system cost savings possible,” said Peter H. Wilson, Marketing Sr. Director of MOSFET product line at AOS.
